P*%$#@!

Alright, i had some issue with arking as some of you may remember, i got it all fixed and found that i had a wire burnt in half, well i ran the new wires through what i assumed was the same spot and planned on getting some protectors for it before it burnt again... just so happens it already burnt up again in a week, can some one please tell me where I can run the drivers side back spark plug wire so that it doesn't burn up? It appeared to run through a space in between the block and the manifold but apparently that's not right

It runs through the factory shielding:

If you no longer have this piece, you might have to get creative with some wire ties.

You can also see the #7 plug wire shield in this pic.

Yes.What I did is I ran the wire from the spark plug attached to the inner wheel well(covered with old spark plug boots sliced down the middle of them)so the wire wasn't actually touching the fender,tied with zip ties into a loom from the auto parts store.Sounds ghetto,but hey,it actually works.The wire never touches any metal or even close to it.Hope this helps.
